Osweiller traded to Browns! **merged**

[The Quest for Six]

nice to see the more things change in Cleveland, the more things stay the same...what an asinine move by Cleveland.

 

[waving monkey]

They basically PAID Cleveland to take him

never have I heard of this

 

[MonsterD]

So What's in play for the Cowboys? What picks they may get ??????

none?

Um, what are you talking about? There is literally no downside for the Browns.

 

[lostar2009]

none?

So they may be waiting for the Cowboys to release him. Why does remind me of jaws, sharks just circle around waiting for the meat. If I'm JJ I'll hold Romo until TC. This will force Houston to fork over a pic. At this point they played their hands.

It's literally an incredible deal by the Browns they get handed a 2nd Rd pick just to take on that contract

The guy isn't a starting quarterback..

never have I heard of this

Pretty wild
They did get some cap space, but they gave Cleveland Osweiller AND much more value in draft picks

I guess clearing Osweiller off the books and getting some cap room meant alot

Its a great move by them.

They literally might cut him today. I think you're missing a few details.

 

[Wolfpack]

It's literally an incredible deal by the Browns they get handed a 2nd Rd pick just to take on that contract

its a great deal. That contact shouldn't be guaranteed either so they should be able to cut him in camp if they want.

They have a ton of cap space and are willing to eat his salary this season to get the 2nd round pick. Good move by the Browns

 

[CATCH17]

The guy isn't a starting quarterback..

lol they will probably cut him...

They got loads of cap space and they were given a 2nd rounder just to take on his cap hit for a year.

 

[Joe Realist]

I guess this clears the way for a Kirk Cousins trade...

how does someone have 10,000 posts on a football forum and not understand basic moves like this?

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Makes me a little nervous that they're not willing to part with any more draft picks now that they gave up a 2nd. I don't want us to just give them Romo.

 

[DFWJC]

they have to have cap room to make on offer via trade or if he was waived....either way. Denver has more space but at least its possible now

 

[Aikmaniac]

Texans QBs:

Tom Savage and Brandon Weeden.

With these two, you don't just trade your starter and pray your potential new guy is released and not traded.

Talk about not understanding the trade. CLE got Osweiler and a RD2 pick in 2018 from HOU. CLE can release or trade Osweiler and owe him nothing.

 

[CATCH17]

What if the Browns offer the farm for Romo?

Just offer us a deal that you cant possibly turn down.
